I care more about other people having avatars than having one myself. Why? Because, as someone else said, being a visual creature, I attribute the avatar to the person. I remember specifically one time with *Nikki*'s avatar where she had one that stood out so greatly and that I got very used to that when she changed it I could no longer ercognize her posts for a few days until I got used to the new one. Cheerios is another example - she had the same av for almost a year and then *poof* she changed it and it took me awhile to recognize the "new" cheerios. So, my biggest reason is that when OTHER people have avatars, I get to put a visual with the name.
As far as why I want one for myself? Same reason - it's like getting a face. It adds a greater sense of being and presence to my existence on this site.
As much as I'd like to add mine however, I've opted to wait until I reach 250 posts as an example to all those complaining about losing their avatars and post counts. I'm not spamming the boards, not making pointless posts to the Titty Board, but I'm patiently waiting until 250 to upload my av. And I'm perfectly fine doing that.
